Free Weekend Travel and Trawscymru Carpet Deliveries. Has anyone seen figures on expenditure on Free Weekend Travel. I went to catch the T5 in Aberystwyth and the Trawscymru T5 bus was there ready to board but another empty Brodyr Richards bus turned up with T5 displayed . I asked the...

johntrawscymru Unfortunately it is very difficult to argue against your analysis.

Had a few more journeys on the T1C . The numbers using the service has dropped (the last journey had 10 passengers on from Aberystwyth and 22 arrived in Cardiff). The T1C was 36 minutes late arriving in Cardiff , 20 minutes of which was the diversion off the route to visit the shopping complex...

This route must be dedicated to the Trawscymru Network Manager and it probably goes past his house as he is a Llandudno man. Has anyone seen the Weltag document for this route (KS has said Weltag must be applied to all transport projects funded in part or in full by the Welsh Government)...

Typical Ken Skates. No facts. What has been the increase/decrease in passenger numbers on weekdays - only that will tell him whether the strategy is working. KS used the increase in weekend passenger numbers to justify increasing the number of T3 services (Wrexham to Barmouth) across his own AM...

I have just found an interesting WAG document introduced by Ken Skates in 2017 https://beta.gov.wales/sites/default/files/publications/2017-12/welsh-transport-appraisal-guidance.pdf The following points are taken from that document “”The Welsh Transport Appraisal (WelTAG)...

Must have been holiday Friday !!. Used T1C Aberystwyth to Cardiff and back Tuesday 24 july . Just over half full reaching Cardiff and same coming back to Aberystwyth . Still no connection in Aberystwyth with T2 from Dolgellau (departs Dolgellau 8.10 and arrives Aberystwyth 9.30 and is not...

Nothing personal - I just took umbrage at the ""you can't make one particular connection at Aberystwyth."". Not sure about Edwina Hart. The T3 Wrexham to Aberystwyth feasibility study was ignored on her watch but in my last 2 years of dealing with the WAG officials it would not surprise me if...

Appreciate your point regarding the train to Cardiff which would cost you £90.60 one way . The Trawscymru T2/T1 is Bangor to Carmarthen . Bus is the only real option. By train you would go Bangor to Crewe , Cardiff and Carmarthen and it would still cost you £90.60 and would take between 6 and...

You have hit the nail on the head . I am a marked man , I complained in January 2016 about the last T2 of the day from Bangor arriving at 18.40 in Aberystwyth and not connecting with the last 18.40 T! departure to Carmarthen which then connects with the last train to Cardiff in Carmarthen. A...

No . Satellite imagery is not required. Professor Cole is a consultant for the WAG and if you look at his publicity, which he frequently obtains by giving lectures here and there, he is always introduced as a "guru" in the world of tranport. He therefore has no need of satellite imagery and...

Cannot be on the top deck as I have struggled to see any passengers on either deck in midweek . The T3 service is only used at weekends when Ken's constituents can go for a free trip to the seaside . I am a card carrier myself and think everyone should pay something for the privilige of long...

A ""high level"" review has been carried out by Professor Stuart Cole on the T3 Wrexham to Barmouth route (Ken Skates commissioned the ""high level"" review on 14/11/2017 on the T3 Aberystwyth to Wrexham route ??!!). The review is a one page "suggested action plan" which does not mention the...

Trawscymru T2(Bangor/Aberystwyth) and T3(Wrexham/Barmouth) have their contracts managed by Gwynedd County Council. Gwynedd County Council have made a Quality Partnership agreement to delay the departure of T2 services in Dolgellau by upto 5 minutes beyond their timetabled departure time to...

I do not know why WAG are so set against a route from Wrexham to Aberystwyth. The Aberystwyth route was recommended by the Winckler report and Ken Skates actually commissioned a review of Wrexham to Aberystwyth on 14/11/2017. WAG now refuse to answer questions on this. It cannot be due to...

Welsh Government said in letter (TO-KS-01692-18) on 5th June that they would look at providing funding for a second T1C service which we had with the old 701 and this may be related to the above , but hold your breath, the WAG never act that fast and most of the time never act at all. LLoyds...

Trawscymru "Service T10 (Bangor - Betws y Coed - Corwen - Chirk - (Oswestry)." Trawscymru T11: Machynlleth - Newtown - Welshpool - Wrexham (Mon - Sun) Trawscymru T12: Machynlleth - Newtown - Montgomery - Welshpool - Wrexham Thanks for the information , I have spent 6 months trying to get the...

Very odd indeed! The Oswestry/Chirk to Bangor route will cross the Transport Minister Ken Skates constituency of South Clwyd in a North Easterly direction to Wrexham where it will do an about turn and go in a Westerly direction across the North Wales coastal strip through Conwy, where the...
